Danger day today.  Will try and not go into Supermarket.  So far $30 this week.

$131.02 here this week.  Stocked up my pantry and had a lovely time at the fruit & veg shop  :-))  Sometimes a girl's just gotta shop, even if it's just food  ;D

Couldn't avoid Supermarket, another $30 .  So still under $100.  Pretty good.  Trying several new recipes but using what I've got.

$110 this week, I got a couple of things to make some recipes from the Quirky Cooking book but didn't go overboard & lucky I have a lot of the ingredients in my pantry already.

Average spend around $150 is pretty good Hally. I must work mine out as I have been spending around $100-150.  I don't like mushrooms so could never imagine spending $18 but every now & then it's nice to do something special.

Yes, it was mich that put me on to averaging the spend & it makes it much more reasonable.

Got sucked it by ww on line, free delivery & some 1/2 price specials. Will add up later.

Big shop this week $200 including a visit to the central market, garganis to stock up on nuts & also fund bulk maple syrup which we use in cooking a lot & save in the long run.

Another low one for me as we use up the food bought for Monkey Mia. $90 in WW and then $16 in Coles. I even have nearly 20kg of Bakers' Flour to use.

I am so loving shopping and cooking just for me. Today I spent just under $30 and that included bread flour! Yahoo.
